Most exchanges/wallets are probably in some sort of competition right now to offer up the lowest fees. Until the whole segwit2x/bip148 struggle gets resolved the fees will remain kind of gouged.
hmm, xapo and coinbase were offering no fees but now they pay nothing, we have to pay fees. Can't see that exchangers and wallets are trying to offer us low fees.
And OP that time is now piece of past. Good, old memories. Bitcoin fees are now very high and for low transaction it's simply useless.
